The new school year will be opening in just under two weeks and many are wondering if the schools in Tobago that are under repairs will be ready in time. Secretary for Education, Youth Affairs and Sport, Whitney Alfred at Wednesday’s post executive press briefing addressed several concerns.

The Tobago district of the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teacher’s Association held their annual Teacher’s Get Together ceremony and awards function recently at the Rovanel’s Resort. The event which also formed a part of the activities which were held throughout the week as part of TTUTA’s 72nd anniversary was also an opportunity to bid farewell to retiring teachers.
